Could be udev event ordering?  We do need to track this down, otherwise
stuff simply won't work when we come back.  The best thing to do here is
run the udev monitoring tool (whatever that is, I forget) and see what
events get emitted from the kernel, then run 'lshal --monitor' and see
what HAL thinks is going on, which it gets from consuming udev events
and inspecting sysfs.  Stuff like this is sometimes caused by
mis-ordered kernel events or drivers/subsystems that don't create their
sysfs directories at the right times, leading to race conditions between
the kernel and HAL.  A possibility.
